“Lyme disease and autism have the same symptoms.”
I hadn’t heard that before; I think Lyme disease is more nerve-related in terms of joints, while autism is directly linked to the brain end of the nervous system. There is overlap, but I don’t think the symptoms are very similar.
Lyme disease is so much more than joint problems. There are over 200 symptoms associated with Lyme disease. Brain and nerve problems are very much a part of Lyme Disease. Here is an article showing some of the symptom overlap
